You may have spent years trying to understand your pain — and still feel stuck. Something that lives deeper than insight is ready to shift. My clients are people navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and a sense of disconnection from themselves or others. Some carry something harder to name — a persistent feeling of not quite belonging, of longing for more. Together, we work at the pace that's right for you — through the body, through relationship, toward safety, toward feeling, toward yourself.
As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), I work with the nervous system and body as a relational system, held in safe, attuned presence. I also draw from Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) to support learning how to be with and move through core feelings. Together, these approaches help you move from survival and pain toward safety, connection, and ease.
You don't have to have it all figured out before reaching out. Whether you know exactly what you're carrying or can't quite put it into words yet — that's okay. What matters is that something in you is ready. I offer a free consultation so you can get a sense of whether we are a good fit. I welcome you to reach out.

Trauma lives in the body long after the event has passed. So does the impact of sexual abuse, anxiety, and the chronic stress of feeling unsafe in yourself or the world. My work is not about managing symptoms — it is about helping your nervous system find its way back to safety, so that life can begin to feel different from the inside out.

Every approach I draw from shares the same intention: to support the whole person — body, nervous system, emotion, and story. Somatic Experiencing and attachment-based approaches form the core, while emotionally focused, trauma-informed, and mindfulness-based approaches deepen the work. The therapy is shaped by you — your pace, your needs, your healing — as I accompany and guide you.
